A VeYitabie Chestnut.

One Of the most charming young
ladies of this city teaches Q class OF
very young boys at the Episcopal
Sabbath School. Last Sunday she
was propoupding the usual questions
to her youthful scholars and asked q
boy of four the time hon0red ques-
ton, "Who made your" The young
ster answered not word but With a
preternatnrally grave face drew from
his pocket huge chestnut which he
presented to his astonished teacher.
The young lady was at first disposed
to take the offering as token Of her
scholars affection for her, but she put
the age Of the question and the size Of
the boy together and abruptly closed
the lesson for the day, emitting the
shot and sweet lecture with which
she usually favors her fortunate class

A BIG SU BSIDY
For q Railroad Through the
SiMi Ra nchO.


A meeting OF the "Simi Land and
Water Company" was held ye-terda,
afternoon in Temperance Hall, 10,
North Main street. The Secretary,
Mr.. R. w. Poindexter, in absence
of the Pre-. ident and Vice President.
moved that Mr.. J.. D. Basker act az
chairman. He was unanimously
elected. Mr.. Poindexter then Gale,
the roll, and found enough present t.
constitute quorum. Mr.. Basker SAID
the object of the meeting was to vote
subsidy for a railroad company, and
stated that a similar meeting was
held three weeks ago, but the
number of stockholders present was &c
small, that they deemed it best to wall
until more shares could be sold.
Mr.. Poindexter then read the min
utes of the last meeting, nearly all
stockholders being present personally
or by proxy.
Mr.. Lee was requested to draft a
subsidy, of which the following is
synoyosis:
We the undersigned stock company,
of the board of the "Simi Land and
Water Company" give to D. McFar
land or his assignee, 500, 900, and the
right of way, which is to be sixty feet
wide, except VIII re stations are erected,
these to be one hundred feet wide for
distance of 1000 feet, and an undivided
half interest in two town sections Of
200 acres each, for the purpose OF
establishing and running a steam rail
road, standard gauge, from Los Ange-
les on any established line of road,
across our ranch through the Santa
susanna pass to the Pacific Coast to
any of the neighboring places, said
road to be completed before January
l, 1890, to be commenced on or before
February 25, 1888, and to be graded
and in operation each side of the pass
before January l, 1889. That when
the road has been graded each side of
the pass one-fourth of the money be
advanced, one-half when the ties and
rails are laid, and the company
running daily train each side of the
pass. The balance to be paid when
the road has been completed through
the pass and in operation for thirty
DAYS.
There was considerable discussion
in regard to the time the money
should be paid, but the above was
agreed upon and voted for by all the
stockholders present.
The Secretary then read the
amount of stock represented and
amount present, and found 26 l-5
shares over a quorum, after which

AMUSEM ENTS.
The NJ, u, Curtis company at the
Opera House.

opera House.
Quite a fair-sized audience was
present at the Grand Opera House to
witness the second representation Of
the new comedy Caught In a Corner.
MIR. M. B. Curtis, in his peculiar line,
is an amusing actor. There is gen.
eral tendency in those who attempt
the English dialect Of certain class
of Hebrews to overdo it. But Mr..
Curtis is not amenable to this fault.
And the author Of the piece has had
the good sense to make his hero Il
man OF wit and principle, instead OF
grasping and repulsive caricatures
generally worked up by less
discriminating playwri shts. Miss
Albina de Mer, as "Henriette de
Verne" a French woman, overshad-
owed by clouded past career. is
piquant actress, and possesses the ad-
vantage of enunciating her English
with so French an accent as to make
her quite an object of interest. There
L. not great deal in the piece. The
plot turns on a Chicago wheat deal
in which, curious to say, virtue anG
principle are triumphant. Miss Maude
Adams is a winsome little body, anu
does what she ha- to do pretty well ;
and Mr.. Al. Feely's dude is all THAI
could be desired. The same bill will
be presented again tonight.

Concert at 81. raui's.

Those who attended the musical
and literary entertainment at St.
Paurs Parish Hall last evening
acknowledged that it was one of the
most pleasant rencontres of the season
rhe exercises were well rendered, the
audience was thoroughly elite, and the
arrangements were satisfactory be
vond expectation. The programme
consisted of recitations by Miss Mamie
Sho t, piano solos by Misses Laux
and Vail. and violin solo by Mr.. }.
Bond Francisco. A vocal Duet had
been promised by Mesdames Davis and
Damarin, but these ladies being I'M
fortunately indisposed the number
was necessarily Withdrawn. In its
stead, however, Mrs. Vail kindly con-
sented to sing one or two sci, ctions,
and this pc Torrance was greatly
appreciated by the audience.
During the course of the evening
light refreshments were Sc we'd and
were rendered doubly acceptable by
the bewitching young ladies who,
attired in becoming costumes, APP
peared in the role of mattresses.

Highland Lnsrd.

The Queen has visited all the scenes in
the Highlands of Scotland associated
withthe fortunes of the young pretender.
At one spot mountain marks the place
where the standard of rebellion was
planted. Wishing to learn as much as
She could of the local traditions of the
Prince. she dispatched messenger to an
old Highland laird who dwelt in the
ncighborhood, and who was known to be
well versed in such things. The laird
seemed to have his scruplos in the mat

very graciously thanked him for
coming. q should like to know, "
She continued, "the exact spot
where the pretender landed, and "
She was allowed to proceed no further
Instantly the old chief laid his hand
upon her shoulder, saying He was no
pretender, Madam he was our king. "
Il beg your pardon" said the Queen,
kindly. - ought not to have used that

would not be where yOu are" This
plain speaking, which rather startled her
retinue, did not displease the Queen.
On the contrary. she was amused at it
and seemed to like it, and it reused her
interest in her uncourtly-mannered sub
iect. and her way OF taking it went to his
heart and unbent and softened his stern
spirit. They talked long together, and
they parted like old friends.

CIosc Of m singular Career.

A rather remarkable old Partisan. Nj.
Emile Marco de Saint-Hilaire, has Just
died at Neuilly, outside Paris. No one
knew his age, and tradition said that he
first saw the light in 1898. His mother
was maid OF honor to Queen Hortense'
and he was for a brief period page to
the great Napoleon. He published many
curious books after the fall OF the first
empire, some Of them being treatises on
the arts Of smoking, snuffing, tying era
watts, and making love. HIS most pay
ing successes were, however, his ME
moirs of an Imperial Page" his "St.
Cloud and Malmaison," and other Ma
poleonic "reminiscences. He was rather
stability treated by the Imperialists after
the foundation of the second empire. for
they sent him off to Strasburg as libra
rian in the chdtedu, and that only when
he was tired of asking for post. In
1870 his rooms were shelled by the
Prussians, and he was carried off into
Germany as prisoner, although nearly
eighty years old. Hereturned without
penny to Paris. He was obliged to en-
ter an asylum for aged persons, where
he met widow and married her Thanks
to her jointure, he was enabled TO spend
his declining years in peace and plenty.

Hiccoughed Nine Days.


DR.. J. J. Dunlop, n venerable physi-
clan of Waterford, is now recovering
from an attack Of hiccoughs that caused
him terrible suffering for nine days.
After eating dinner November 18th he
was attacked with gastralgia, which soon
after developed into a violent attack Of
hiccoughs. The usual remedies were
applied, but without effect, and the
patient was compelled to take to his
bed, where he still lies. He had no
relief from the complaint except while
he slept. As soon as he awoke the hic-
coughs would again attack him and con-
tinue until he slept. For few days his
life was despaired Of, and he gradually
grew weaker until last Saturday, when
the distressing malady left him. He is
now slowly recovering, although very
weak. He is over seventy years Of age,
and has practiced in Waterford half his
life. The case was considered an UNI
usual one by the attending physician,
who is a nephew of the patient.

charged from the Sir.i-Bolan. But this
must be taken with large pinch OF salt,
for 1t is inconceivable that water should
rise, as water, to such a height above
the place OF its disappearance. and the
water itself IS perfectly accounted for 10y
the fact that it bursts forth not far below
the point at which the granite and quartz
of the upper part Of the range oyerlie
the crystalline limestone.
When the traveller has crossed the
summit of the Bolan and descended a
few feet into the dreadful desert plain
called the Dusht-i-Bedaulet, he sees be-
fore him range of mountains-black,
barren, and forbidding. The track leads
to the right, where small pass called
Dirwaza, or the gate, opens up the val
ley that descends to Quelta. Looking
from Dirwaza to the left there may be
seen what at first looks like a wide noun
tain stream flowing down broad scarfed
rock. In exquisite and ever-changing
foam it descends to a stream which
it feeds. But whence comes it? tx
animation by good binocular or tele--
scope shows that it comes clean out OF
the heart of the mountain which rises,
almost sheer, 1000 feet above it. This
is the Sir-i-ab-the head of the water,
for by no other name is the stream
known. 1t receives a few mountain
dribblets and goes on by Quelta to join,
in the plain OF Pishin, the Lora Shara-
wax, which, where it is crossed by the
track to Candahar, is so salt that no ami
nal will touch it. TO the Sir-i-ab no
special reverence is paid any more than
to the Sir-i-Bolan, yet the Subatan
stream-Su being Turkish, as alb is Per
sian for. water-has not more marvellous
source than either of these Beloochee
wonders, these waters from the living
rock,
